2014 RAM 1500 EcoDiesel Truck Model Sets Three-Day Record Sales

The 2014 RAM 1500 EcoDiesel received over 8,000 orders in just three days, from February 7-10, 2014. 2014 RAM 1500 EcoDiesel is the latest Dodge model of Ram Truck Brand, a US-based division of Chrysler Group LLC that manufactures light to mid-weight pickup trucks.

Record-breaking sales by the 2014 RAM 1500 was reportedly attributed to features that include 28 MPG with 9,200 lbs. of towing capacity. The growing consumer demand for light-duty diesel also contributed to the unexpected sales.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provided the 28 MPG rating to the 2014 RAM 1500.

In a statement by Reid Bigland, President and CEO of Ram Truck, explained that “RAM 1500 is the only half-ton truck available with a diesel, so we see this as incremental business by having the only truck that can offer best-in-class fuel economy of 28 MPG combined with 9,200 lbs. of towing capacity.”

Due to the unexpected large number in sales, orders by dealers can only be filled once sold customer orders are fully allocated. New orders for the 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel trucks will be accepted again by early March.
